This post was actually written on the day it happened, but I didn't get the pictures uploaded in time. Then, all the business began. Anyway, here's a post from almost two months ago:
June 15, 2008
John had his first "Red Plate Day" today.
The red plate was a gift from our good friends Glenn and Julie Roper that they gave us when we left Provo. When someone has an extra special day, they get to eat off of the red plate, and the event is written (with the date) on the back of the plate.
Today was John's "Red Plate Day" because he:
1) Took a shower all by himself applying the soap himself and lathering the shampoo himself
2) Put on his own Sunday shirt, doing the buttons all by himself
3) Sang in Sacrament meeting with the rest of primary
4) Put on his seatbelt all by himself
He was quite pleased with himself -- as were we.
I'm glad to see that you were able to use the plate! Derek had a "red plate" day today by giving a talk in primary. Unfortunately, "somebody" packed the red plate in a box that is still in the basement of our house in Colorado. We'll have to break it out again when we get back! We do love that tradition!
